What we today call bribery, long enough in human history represents one of the main ways people interact. In pre-statist era exchange of gifts in any combination: the gift the gift or a gift for the service, for the gift of obedience or protection, for the desired action or inaction was beneficial relationship between people are compensated. Even the gods of our ancestors, for that matter, and our faithful contemporaries have done and continue to make offerings, anticipating them their request for forgiveness or beneficence. Such compensatory exchange of gifts between individuals and entire nations was a way to organize and was the pillar of the model of non-market economy and the social interaction of primitive society. Gifts fastened kinship rela- tions, brotherhood, vassalage and domination. And vassal, bringing gifts to his master as a sign of devotion, could count on responses gifts, sometimes in excess of material value to their offerings, as was the case, for example, in ancient China. Often the gift largely characterized not so much by the person to whom he raised as generosity and nobility of the donor.
